I bought this shampoo because of its good rating on cosmetics safety database, and I am happy with it overall. It is a very gentle shampoo, so I wouldn't recommend it if you use a lot of products every day (I don't use any hair products). I have fine, straight hair and I love how it leaves it soft. It does have a very strong lemon smell when you use it, but it doesn't linger much after it dries. I wish it had a better smell but otherwise a good quality and safe shampoo!
